I would like to add a background color or really I would like to add sort of a woodgrain background to my site. Were the black is ...is this doable? http://riversidevillagepub.com/wordpress/

Yep this is a common issue. It's been answered elsewhere but here's the code for your Custom Code section:

body.fixed_width {
	background:url("path-to-your-image.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 #444444;
	}

Thank you..I tried that...here is what I entered: body.fixed_width { background:url(http://riversidevillagepub.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/woodgrain.jpg) repeat scroll 0 0 #444444; } it did not work

got it working thank you so much...last ? I promise...at least on this topic...can I change the font color in the footer now?

Yep, try this:

#footer, #footer a {
	color: #000000;
	}

That's black. If you want the links a different color, make it two separate blocks, i.e.,

#footer {
	color: #000000;
	}
	#footer a {
	color: #ff0000;
	}

Hello Chris, I recently just lost all of my custom CSS. I have added back in this area above for my background image and I am not getting it to show. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I have put the code back in exactly as you said. I did make one tiny modification to make it work and I can't seem to recall it. Thank you

This seems to be working now correct? I checked your site.
